ZONE CONFERENCE ANNANDALE Jan 14,2010


The Annandale zone conference is in the mission home's zone and so it includes the office elders and assistants. This is a group we see more regularly. Our zone leaders are Elders Packer and Strong. They gave a great presentation : In order to find the one you must have finding skills. They asked, How does building Christlike attributes help you find? One great quote from them, "It is not the will to win, but the bill to Prepare to win" They referred to the scriptures found in Mark 6 :45-48 and D&C 98:1-3. And made an anology to the story when the disciplies were in the ship on the windy sea. These creative Elders point out things I have never thought of or applied to us. Verse 48 tells us that they had been "toiling in rowing" and the wind was "contrary" or against them and then in the fourth watch or after about 9-12 hours then He came unto them.They related this to the missionaries toiling and sometimes only after many hours or days do we get the help we need. It was very insightful. They said we have to "Pray and work until the Fourth Watch". Work and keep on working, Try and keep on trying. The Zone leaders always impress me with their ideas.

During Pres. Albrights presentation he gave a quote from Elder Bednar.
"Missionaries are full- time teachers and you I (speaking to the members) are full-time finders. Don't expect the missionaries to do your job". I just love that quote. If all the members took it to heart, imagine how much teaching the missionaries would be able to do. They would have so many investigators they would hardly be able to fit in the lessons.
